Parent | Guardian registration
Parents and guardians are included in the onboarding process for teens under 18.
A more structured way for teens to start working.
LocalKid helps teens find simple paid tasks nearby while giving parents and guardians a clearer role in the onboarding process.
We know the question is not just, “Can my teen earn money?” It is, “Who are they working for, where are they going, what are they doing, and how is this being managed?”
LocalKid is being built around those questions from the start.
Teens need opportunities. Parents need visibility.
Traditional teen jobs are not always flexible, available, or close to home. Informal neighborhood work can be useful, but it is often scattered across texts, social posts, and word of mouth.
LocalKid creates a more organized path, with task information, household registration, and parent/guardian participation built into the process.
What LocalKid is designed to support
Task visibility
Task details are collected and reviewed before a teen is matched, with site visit opportunities.
Homeowner onboarding
Homeowners must register and successfully complete a background check before their tasks are posted.
Age-appropriate task review
Task fit can be evaluated based on age, skill, comfort, and pilot rules.
Payment structure
LocalKid is designed to support seamless, transparent, and guaranteed payments using Stripe.
Community based
The tasks are intentionally local, to help build stronger community ties in your neighborhood.
How parent/guardian onboarding works
During the pilot, LocalKid will collect your teens interests, availability, and your task preferences, so we can better understand what kinds of opportunities may be a fit.
- Step 1: Your teen expresses interest. Your teen may complete the teen interest form first, or you may begin the parent/guardian process directly.
- Step 2: You complete parent/guardian registration. This gives LocalKid the information needed to support consent, communication, and onboarding.
- Step 3: LocalKid reviews eligibility and fit. Our platform helps determine what types of tasks may be appropriate.
- Step 4: Approved teens move forward. Once the right steps are complete, eligible teens can be considered for task opportunities.
Safety is not a feature we add later.
LocalKid is being built as a safety-forward marketplace because teens are not just another labor category. They are young people gaining their first work experiences, often close to home, with families trusting the system around them.
That is why our pilot emphasizes registration, task review, parent/guardian involvement, and a more accountable workflow from the beginning.
